Ugghh, when I try to load it, it says: Selected save game could not be loaded, Downloadable Content missing, module(s) in question: Pinnacle Station.

Thanks anyway!

I blame Bioware. Great writers, lousy programmers!

It is kind of weird you need the DLC to play... why couldn't it be like Bethesda games where if you remove a mod or DLC, it just erases the content?

Had another friend load it, take the lift, and resave and it worked fine for me after that. I even took the lift back down without any crashes. Finished the game out :)

Uuugh, as much facking trouble as I had trying to get this game to run, I'm surprised I played it to completion. So I bought this game on steam when it was on sale for 10 bucks. so it finally downloaded and it wouldn't run and I had no idea why, that must have been earlier this year i think, maybe... feb or march, possibly april.
anywho, so it wouldn't run and after fruitless searching of the web I gave up till a couple months ago i saw a torrent for it and thought maybe securom was mucking it up cause i have virtual drive software on my computer and 2kgames once told me thats why Bioshock wouldn't run. I'm more inclined to think 2kgames was jerkin my chain but they might have been right.... so i downloaded this torrent and installed it and I got the same thing as before, splash screen opened and never went from there. so I searched a little more and eventually I found that My sound card (Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Gamer) apparently installed some junk called "hosts openAL" (google it if you'd like to know what it does) and that was the issue. finally got it going right, at this point I still had the Partial steam download so I could get my CD key from the download and use it with the torrent (so it was legit).

So I play for a bit and figure since BDTS DLC is free I'll go ahead and install that. So I did and before I opened up the game again I figured I didn't need the partial steam download so I deleted it though steam and ran the remaining one.... and Got this stupid error "save could not be loaded, missing modules"..... well needless to say I was more than Unhappy with this turn of events, and after a day or so of frustration It dawned on me that deleteing the steam content, whatever was there must have been key files, registry entries maybe or just something was gone.... so after a reinstall of the whole thing It worked and i was able to beat it and I'm happy to say I played it. ohh and one final note here, apparently ME wasn't the only game this "hosts openAL" was stopping from running. Fable-The Lost Chapters, Bionic commando and Mirrors edge all halted cause of this seemingly useless software creative stuffed into my install with the drivers.

Sound cards seem to source for so many troubles... glad I am not a big sound person and use on-board cards, those seem pretty much simple to the point of hardly ever causing problems.

And by the way, Mass Effect on Steam has no SecuROM, so your torrent hunt was for nothing.

Ohh well, the game works now so that's all that really matters in the end right? :)
